[RBW] Re: Custom Rivendell Roadbike for sale 59cm

[Bill Lindsay]

For what it's worth to potentially interested parties: the saddle height in 
the photo is 67.3cm, according to the seller on Craigslist.  The right 
rider for that bike would run a saddle height in the range of 75-76 cm.

Yes, assuming your bike is a true "custom" Rivendell, e.g., it was hand 
built by one of a number of excellent frame builders, then it will be worth 
more if the "sticker decals" say Rivendell instead of Resurrectio

Further, I notice you have some hashtags on the bottom of your CL ad -- 
#waterford, #toyo, #steel.  It is interesting that you list Toyo as they 
are a Japanese builder, not MUSA. Since you have the original paperwork, it 
should say who was the builder. If so, you should list it as a frame built 
by say Goodrich, Sachs, Nobilette, Starck, Della Santa or a number of other 
excellent builders is going to worth more.

But that's up to you. If you're happy with the way it is advertised, then 
good luck with the sale!

I think what Brewster is getting at is it warrants new Rivendell decals. You're 
going to get burned on the price selling as is.

Yes. Of course. Resurrectio is the sticker decals.

[RBW] Re: Custom Rivendell Roadbike for sale 59cm

[Brewster Fong]

I don't understand why this is called a "Resurrectio" if you have the 
paperwork that shows it was originally a custom Rivendell?!  I know it has 
been repainted, but shouldn't the original paperwork prove it was a custom? 

Good Luck!
